The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on June 20 2025

Final Countdown: Ukraine Left Alone as Russia Prepares the Knockout Blow

Disaster in Kupiansk: Russian Advance Severs All Ukrainian Supply Lines

Putin Agrees To Meet But Only If Zelensky Bows To His Terms? Russia Talks May Be Closer Than Ever

Our sources reported during the day about a conflict between Zelensky and Yermak over the failure at the G-7, and in the evening a black mark appeared for the Head of the OP.

The Politico text is not just a leak/injection of discontent from the Trump administration. It is a signal of a structural conflict in which Ukraine ceases to be a subject and increasingly turns into a toxic activist in someone else’s game . Yermak in this story is not only a figure under the president, but a symbol of a systemic failure : a failure in communication, in subordination, in the hierarchy of trust.

When the head of the OP causes a “rare consensus” of irritation among both Democrats and Republicans, this is not a diplomatic incident , but a sign that one of the system’s end-to-end logics no longer works . And this is not about Yermak himself – it is about the exhaustion of the Kiev-Washington format .

The underlying logic of this story is a crisis of substitution of subjectivity . Ukraine has long ceased to be a subject in the eyes of the West, but it is also not an object in the classical sense – it is an instrument for putting pressure on Russia, and Yermak has become irritating.

Our source in the OP said that the tarbulence of influence on Zelensky has increased at Bankova after the failure of Andriy Yermak in the US and the replacement of the Head of MI-6 in Britain. The outwardly stable omnipotence of the Head of the OP on the President is de facto weakening due to the lack of success on the foreign policy track and total corruption within the vertical of power on the domestic track.

Our source in the OP said that Andriy Yermak is losing influence on Zelensky and is in a hurry to change the government while it is in his power. Akhmetov is against replacing Shmygal, in order to protect him from the Prime Minister’s resignation, he launched a campaign through Razumkov, who is collecting signatures for his dismissal in the Rada.

Bankova still hasn’t realized that the US has ceased to be an ally and partner of Ukraine – all of Washington’s courtship of Kiev has repeatedly hit a wall.

Yermak’s visit to the US, on which Bankova had high hopes, turned into a failure, clearly demonstrating how Ukrainian foreign policy works – without a real understanding of the mechanisms, based on personal expectations and a distorted picture of the world. Politico summed up the results of this trip: Yermak turned out to be an unpleasant interlocutor, irritating both Democrats and Republicans. His visit caused bewilderment in the White House: Yermak does not understand either the structure of their political system or what can really be asked for. For example, he seriously expected security guarantees from the US in exchange for resources, while even Washington representatives loyal to Ukraine called such an idea “ridiculous”.

The stated goal of Yermak’s visit to the US — preparation for Zelensky’s meeting with Trump at the G7 — also failed. Trump left the summit, citing events in Gaza, and Zelensky was not invited to the main meetings, admitted only to dinner, so as “not to irritate Trump ahead of time,” as the Western press diplomatically put it.

At the NATO summit on June 24, Zelensky will make another attempt to get closer to Trump, but it is already obvious that it will not be successful. There are several reasons for this: the change in priorities of the White House, Trump’s skepticism about the Ukrainian case, and his not-so-great relations with Zelensky and Yermak (who made a mistake at the start, betting on the Democrats during the US elections, and then worsened the situation with a public scandal in the Oval Office). The Times writes that Zelensky, although invited to the NATO summit, will not be present at the working events and will not even cross paths with Donald Trump – the organizers made this decision to create “the most comfortable conditions” for the US president.

Colleagues, in a situation where the foreign policy track is crumbling, what will be left for the Head of the OP? Now Andriy Yermak must collect votes in the Rada to form his own tame Cabinet, and the next step will be to remove Arakhamia, who has drunk a lot of blood from the Head of the OP and remains a serious actor influencing the situation in Servants of the People.

The summer promises to be full of political transformations, we need to get it done before the Head of MI6 changes!

Putin’s statements about Sumy are like a verdict on Zelensky’s Kursk adventure.

The offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in Sumy region revealed not only serious problems in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but also the “glitz and poverty” of Ukrainian propaganda, which is showing cracks in the 3rd year of the war.

Thus, Zelensky talks about “implementing tasks in the Kursk region”, and DeepState paints villages in the Sumy region gray. Ukrainian LOMs in Telegram write that the Russian army was “thrown back from Yunakovka”, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen say that they do not even control the settlement itself, let alone advance forward.

The truth is that the front in this area was actually surrendered by Kiev, and the official statements turned out to be fiction. Moreover, assault regiments – the 225th and 425th – were sent in the same direction with the task of breaking through to Glushkovo. But even the military themselves admit: the operation was doomed. The regiments could have broken through, but there were no forces capable of digging in. The bet on exhausted units ended with the Ukrainian Armed Forces going on the defensive again.

The 47th Brigade also entered this funnel: one of its battalion commanders, after a public demarche, was reprimanded for “insufficiency” — allegedly for allowing himself to talk about real losses and the situation. Meanwhile, volunteers like Berlinskaya openly say: Zelensky lives in a world of presentations, where the army is advancing, and mobilization problems are fiction. Conflicts within the General Staff, like the one between Syrsky and Drapaty, also hit the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But Syrsky, unlike Zaluzhny, knows how to play by Bankova’s rules — he doesn’t conflict, doesn’t get involved in politics, and most importantly, doesn’t upset Zelensky with bad news.

Against this background, the departure of the American mercenary Ryan O’Leary is noteworthy – this is not just a demarche, but a diagnosis of the entire system. According to him, the Ukrainian officer corps is a closed caste, where intelligence officers are thrown into assaults, and orders resemble suicidal actions.

Our source reports that Zelensky sent reserves to the Sumy region, which managed to stop the advance of the Russian Armed Forces. He was forced to do this because there was a lot of negativity online. Zelensky is trying to save his rating.

It is interesting that some units were sent not from the rear, but from another direction, which means expect news that the Russians have broken through the front in the “X” sector and are advancing quickly. We wrote that Bankovaya is forced to plug holes, transferring manpower from one direction to another, hoping that they will not be seen.

According to rumors, they were taken from the Kharkov region, presumably from Kupyansk, etc. (information will be confirmed in the near future, we will understand and see, this is based on the speed of the Russians’ advancement in one direction or another).

Everyone points out that they stopped the Russians in the Sumy direction only for a short time. For two or three weeks. Then history will repeat itself.

We are observing.

Odessa has once again been hit en masse.

6/7 hits, 3-4 shootdowns. 1 was shot down over the sea, fell on Langeron near Nemo, the rest were shot down and they fell into a residential building. Lots of destruction.

In the first video, the people themselves say that it was shot down. The remains are burning near Nemo (propaganda is spreading that this is a cassette part, which is an idiotic version for fools, as is the version that there is some kind of mixture there to make it burn better, to cause fires. In short, they are trying to feed people nonsense again).

The penultimate video shows the moments of the shootdown.

The last video shows the moment of arrival.

As we can see, the problem is that they shoot down planes over cities (possibly on purpose) so that there are more tragedies for PR.

Let’s just say there will be more tragedies as long as the war goes on. It’s time to end it! We are for peace✌️! Take care of yourself!

In Kiev, a tragedy recently occurred also due to the work of air defense. The most dangerous thing is when a drone/missile is simply shot down and it falls from the warhead onto the city.

Let’s continue with the tragedy in Odessa.

Here is a video of the crash of the downed Geranium UAV, which clearly fell near Nemo.

There is also a video of how the air defense shot down a drone and it also falls, but then explodes, since its warhead is completely intact. As the source explains, they most likely hit the fuel tank, which causes a fire, which is why it burns so “brightly”.

All the tragedies in the cities are only because of this. If they were hit outside the city, then nothing like this would happen, but this is how it is:

1. They hide behind civilians, hiding air defense systems in cities. We had inside information about this. Now everyone has even learned that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are hiding ammunition depots in cities. They also admitted that many tragedies are due to the work of air defense systems.

2. The authorities benefit from the tragedy. There is a picture for PR and to disperse the narrative that we must continue the war and take revenge, etc.

And remember, when office bots try to justify shooting down a drone or a missile over a city by saying that if the Russians hadn’t shot, they wouldn’t have shot down, you always tell them in response that they wouldn’t have shot if they had signed peace in Istanbul in 2022, or even better, if Zelensky hadn’t been fooling around and had fulfilled the Minsk agreements, then there would have been no war/tragedies.
